Amish say proposed development could harm community

April 24, 2019

HARRISBURG, PA - Amish farmers in Lancaster County say a proposed housing and retail development could harm their community.

The Manheim Township farmers took their concerns to Donald Kraybill, a senior fellow emeritus at the Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies at Elizabethtown College.

He said if the development encroaches too harshly on the community, it could raise a question of First Amendment rights.

“ Before you came to speak, I mistakenly assumed that the Amish had a good sense of the Bible and how important it is to be saved. Because of my assumption, I didn’t worry about them and did not include them in my prayers. I didn’t think I needed to. Now, I know differently. Thank you for opening my eyes to their plight. I will be praying for you and your family and your mission. ” - Ravenna, OH
